Loki

Sorry to hear you can't hang with the big boys.

That unfortunately has to do with the drop rate the developers set for the zombies. Not much I can do about that. Loot is already set to rare.

Bump?

Yeah, it's been tough in this limbo state of not wanting to wipe everyones Buildings, but the soft reset isn't working fully and it's showing in the current low Population. I am highly considering a HardRest

I believe they scale backwards. Where as 1 is insane amount of zombies, and 5 is none. You can pull up a sandbox creation to use as reference when changing these values. That's what I did. The numbers essentialy just mark their places in the dropdown windows. I am wanting to have no zombies on my map as my friends and I are trying to look around the map without any hassle to find a place to make a base, as the PZ map doesn't actually let us see inside the buildings so we don't know if it is good to create a base and hold up there. If your suggestion works Loki I will love you as I have spent hours Googling! You just need to make sure you're editing the correct file in the correct directory. And it WILL work.

Which forum should be used for that: this one or the clan's one, or doesn't matter? Just to be sure. The Clans, not this one.

Yeah the OS ran out of Memory. AFAIK you need quite a ridiculous amount of RAM in order to successfully pull off the soft reset unless you do a convoluted method that someone talked about in the forum. I'll go see if I can find it. I saw that method about cutting the SoftResetted files and putting them somewhere safe, then running it again so that it Soft Resets the rest of the files. My issue with this is that when I try and move things in WinSCP, ESPECIALLY servertest files, it takes ridiculously long. Are you moving the files internally within the server or with WinSCP or trying to put them on your computer? I'm not really that versed with Linux to move them by command. First I tried moving them to my pc but realized quickly that download would take too long. So I then tried moving them within WinSCP to another folder, but that too took very very long. I'll look for a better alternative to WinSCP to see if there are any programs that would make it expedient. Excellent.. Hopefully the devs can figure out a way to insure the soft reset doesn't outgrow the server in terms of memory.

I ran the script, initially after it ran for a bit I recieved a Java error about memory. I then increased the memory parameters but recieved this error. ./projectzomboid-dedi-server.sh: line 28: 2604 Killed XMODIFIERS= java -Djava.library.path="${INSTDIR}" -Dorg.lwjgl.util.NoChecks=true -Dorg.lwjgl.librarypath="${INSTDIR}" -Xms6144m -Xmx6144m -XX:-UseSplitVerifier -Dsoftreset -cp "${JARPATH}" zombie.network.GameServer "$@" Is this even an error at all? And if so, what does it mean?

Anyone here have any info on Soft resets? I can't seem to find the Reset File anywhere.

Would love to know where I can find this Server.Softreset file?

I've figured it out. In your SERVERSIDE files, you need to access projectzomboid/media/lue/shared/sandbox Or something very similar to that, and change the file you speak of there. It worked for it, tested multiple times. Good that it worked!, that`s why I said "/edit Loki have a look at the SandboxVars.lua file when you connect to your server using WinSCP." WINSCP = server. Changing it locally won`t do much for other players, people connecting to your server What kind of setting you running now Loki? Running Fst Shamblers, on High quantity. Tough, Pinpoint Hearing & smell. Need to figure out Soft Reset now.

Anybody? =]

Hey all, Could someone point me in the direction of the SoftReset file or where/how to do it? Thank you! Running Linux with Putty and WinSCP.

After Copying a World.db file onto my pc, editing it with Sqlite, I was able to copy the edited World.db file back into my WinSCP directory and replace the one there, thus instilling my edited whitelist. Thank you Connal for the info to do so.

We had an issue with some admins. They have been removed. I urge you to reconsider. I personally look forward to approving your application. =]

Server is now Whitelisted. It will be fully implement on April 1st. This means the only way to gain access is to apply at our forum here: http://www.rdpz.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=497643&TabID=4282967 All new players are encouraged to sign up and post an introduction. We also encourage any current players to send an admin a PM on our forum with your desired username/password. We will be reaching out to players for this info as well, but please keep in mind that we are very busy. Thanks for hangin' on as long as y'all have and I can't wait to see you when this puppy is locked up tight from recent griefers/hackers. Remember, be friendly and Enjoy! -RosettaStoned

Hey folks, I've read Robert Johnsons post about whitelisting, and any other I could find. Perhaps I am missing one, but I cannot seem to figure out how to edit my DB file. I use Putty and WinSCP to run my server. When I try and open the world.db file in WinSCP it comes up as a bunch of code. Not sure if I'm doing this correctly but I am almost positive I am missing crucial steps. If anyone who got this to work could maybe give me a step by step, or if anybody has any insight at all I would greatly appreciate it. Please help, and thanks in advance. This was sent to me by Connal. Good bit of info. 1. You need a program that will actually edit the whitelist such as SQLite Database browser. http://sourceforge.n.../sqlitebrowser/ 2. Don't edit with WinSCP just edit on local files. 3. It's because you can't open database files with it since they are encoded with a certain file format. If you have any other questions it's probably best if you reply in the thread so that other people who may be asking the same questions will get access to the same info. After getting sqlitebrowser I'm stil a bit unsure if exactly how I should edit the DB file with it.

Found the file and changed the values of the zombie settings. I restarted VPS and initialized server but upon logging in it appears to be the same. Do you think a hard reset may be necessary in order for these changes to take affect?

I am using Putty and WinSCP to access my server files. I cannot access the file you speak of to alter it. It comes up only as a bunch of code. Any ideas?

Hey all. Currently there is a bug which I will not name, but it's crashing servers all over the place. Server was running for almost 2 days straight before this came about. There WILL be a whitelist/application process implimented by next week. I work fulltime and don't have the time to work on this as much as I would like. Until then I ask that you are all patient. Also, thank you for reporting the hackers. I am currently looking to recruit admins, so if you're interested and mature enough to handle such responsibility then please message me on steam. 'RosettaStoned' Server is restarted and will be up momentarily. I apologize for the downtime but as of right now I don't believe there is anything I can do to stop these particular server crashes from happening. I will be monitoring the server for the rest of the evening/night and will reboot if it crashes again.

Hey folks, I know this information must be around here somewhere but I think I may have overlooked it. Was wonderin' if someone could help me out. I'm looking to increase the zombie count on my server. How exactly do I do so?
